Swimmers should carry equipment in a mesh bag that comes to the practice lanes with them for every practice.
All equipment should be clearly marked with swimmer's name.
Label EVERYTHING with a permanent marker.

Swimmers should have a team suit for swim meets.
If they do not have a team suit, a plain black racing suit is recommended.

Swimmers may wear suits of their choice for practice, but it must be a competitive style swimming suit that fits snuggly.
Please no lace, ruffles, or ties.
The grab bag in our team store is a nice suit that will be a random color.

Swimmers need to be in a team cap and shirt at all swim meets.

 

 

Equipment Recommendations:

  • Swim Suit:
    • ​Swimmers may wear suits of their choice for practice, but it must be a competitive style swimming suit that fits snuggly.
    • Please no lace, ruffles, or ties.
    • The grab bag in our team store is a nice suit that will be a random color.
  • ​Goggles:
    • Avoid full face masks.  If needed, a nose plug with racing goggles is much prefered.
    • Double straps that go around the back of the head.  Having 2 angles of pull keeps the goggles from falling off during dives.
    • Adjustable nose piece.  Keeps a tight fit and prevents leaks.
    • Mirrored/polarized is best for outside swimming.
    • Clear or yellow is best for inside swimming.
    • Silicone seals are the most consistent. 
      Rubber should be avoided. 
      Swedish style (hard plastic) is effective, but takes getting used to.
  • ​Fins:
    • ​Should be snug, like thick rubber socks or ski boots.
    • The longer the fin, the more you get out of them for training, but the harder it is to sprint.
  • Paddles:
    • ​About an inch longer than the swimmer's hand is prefered.
  • Buoy:​
    • Smaller is better for the smaller swimmers.  Too large of a buoy can cause difficulty swimming.
  • ​Snorkel:
    • ​​Front line snorkel that goes over the forehead.
    • A nose clip is recommended at first until the swimmer gets used to it.
